Daniel Cormier reacts to Jon Jones saying he’d beat him at heavyweight:

“I’m retired. I’m done. I’m 46…

How about you fight the dude that’s actually waiting to fight you - Tom Aspinall.”

Daniel Cormier challenged Jon Jones to fight the bout everyone knows he should take, instead of ruminating about old rivalries.

Jones (28-1) and Cormier (22-3) shared one of the most iconic rivalries in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, sharing the Octagon two times. Jones defended his light heavyweight title in a hard-fought unanimous decision against Cormier in 2015. While Jones knocked Cormier out in their rematch in 2017, it was overturned to a no contest due to “Bones” failing a drug test.

However, Jones and Cormier have not settled their feud even after “DC” hung up his gloves in 2020. Jones recently said that he would have beaten Cormier up even worse if they had fought at heavyweight. Cormier claims Jones himself had refused to fight him at heavyweight when he had the chance. Regardless of what has already transpired, Cormier is not interested in beefing with Jones any longer.

Cormier instead wants Jones to address the elephant in the room, Tom Aspinall. The interim heavyweight champ has done everything within his limits to get a title unifier against Jones. However, Jones first made him wait and defend his interim belt against Curtis Blaydes while he insisted on defending the title against Stipe Miocic. While there is yet to be any major developments, Dana White has promised that Jones needs to fight Aspinall next if he fights at all.

“Talking about what you would’ve done to me seven years ago, five years ago when I retired. How about this? I’ve got a novel idea for you. I’m retired,” Cormier said on YouTube. “I’m done, I’m 46, I’m washed up, I’m a broadcaster, I’m a commentator, I am a talking head. How about this novel idea? Fight the dude that’s actually wanting to fight. I don’t want to fight Jon Jones. I have no desire to fight anyone. But, how about fight the dude that’s actually waiting to fight you, Tom Aspinall. It’s not about what may have happened back then. We want to know as the consumer what’s going to happen today. Am I afraid of this man? Absolutely not. But I’m not here to fight no more. I’m a broadcaster. But there’s a guy that’s waiting. There’s a guy that’s up to his neck in frustration.”

[Siver!]

Just announce the damn fight.

Jon Jones says he won't fight Daniel Cormier at heavyweight, doesn't think 'DC' will return to 205

UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has been clear about two things: He’d like a third go at fellow champ and longtime foe Jon Jones, and he’d like it to be at light heavyweight. Sure, Cormier (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) said in a recent chat with reporters in Rio

Ah, Fatso must've gotten his next TKO-approved script.

 

[jeff7b9]

Yeah... but who wins at Super HW?

 

[Bork Neslar]

That's a classy and sensible answer by Cormier.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

DC's back is shot. Please no.

You need to learn how to read. No where did DC say he wants to fight Jones. In fact he literally said he is 46, retired, and washed up.

 

[Russie]

There will always be some little back and forth between these two. DC would rather not have to say anything about Jones but being in his position its unavoidable. Jon getting his kicks out of poking the bear and getting these reactions.

 

[markg171]

Remember when Jon beat DC 2x and then DC was stripped for refusing to try and defend against him again for a 3rd fight?

And then he also didn't want to rematch Stipe either?

JJ was asked that question. Just like Tom was asked some time ago about who'd win between him and prime DC at HW and Tom said DC would have been a nightmare match up for him,that it'd be a tough fight, but Tom says he thinks he'd beat DC.

Then JJ gets asked the same question, as they're playing hypotheticals... JJ just said "I'd beat him worse imo. His punches were stronger at HW, but my timing got better and my kicks can transfer the power better at HW, so I'd say I'd defeat him easier" ... That's not a call out lmao. He answered a question like Tom did in random hypothetical match ups. Then DC got all bitter as if JJ was calling him out now for a fight, instead of (which was what JJ did) give his opinion on how a match would have gone between himself now and the DC who won gold in HW. JJ basically said he think he'd beat DC like he did vs Stipe. Idk why DC would get bitter to the point he acted as of JJ were calling him out now lmaoo....

DC also recently called Pereira a liar for saying he was hacked all because Pereira didn't want to take a short notice fight vs someone he considers a high level opponent and vs whom he fought injured... But DC didn't even care for the fact Islam didn't take the IFW fight vs Illia and focused on "Pereira is a liar, he didn't get hacked!!" and went on a sequence of circunstancial evidence to ""prove"" Pereira lied about being hacked... DC seems to be getting bitter at JJ more and more and at Alex Pereira too... Wtf lol

DC living rent free in Jones head even after retirement. Jones might have beaten DC, but he cheated and knows it. That's gonna follow him for the rest of his life.

I think it's the other way around, bub
